The Supreme Court on Monday rejected appeals by Louisiana and Kansas to block funding for Planned Parenthood, backing two lower court opinions that said that states which cut Medicaid contracts with affiliates of the organization are in violation of federal law.

Notably siding with the court's liberals was Justice Brett Kavanaugh - whose nomination to the USSC was vehemently opposed by Planned Parenthood, which claimed he would "automatically" overturn Roe v. Wade - the landmark Supreme Court case which legalized abortion.

Chief Justice John Roberts also sided with Planned Parenthood, while three conservative justices, Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the decision by the nine-member court, who said that the appeals should have been heard.

Kavanaugh called Roe v. Wade "settled law" during an August meeting with GOP Sen. Susan Collins of Maine amid his confirmation process - echoing what Justice Roberts said at his nomination hearing.

After Louisiana and Kansas announced the funding cuts, Planned Parenthood affiliates in each state sued in federal court along with several patients in order to maintain funding.

So much for "majority" "conservative" court...

Sun, 09 Dec 2018 20:38:22 GMT'Dresses & braids?' Outrage as German manual shows how to detect 'far-right' KIDS in kindergartens

A 60-page advice brochure for German kindergartens instructs teachers on how to identify and deal with children from 'far-right' families. Critics say it encourages spying and equates wearing braids and dresses with nationalism.
The manual, titled 'Inequality and Early Education,' was published by an anti-racist NGO, Amadeu Antonio Foundation. It was co-funded by the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs.

The guide is designed to help the kindergarten staff to detect and deal with children from far-right families in the wake of the "significant increase in the right-wing populist movements" in Germany, the Federal Minister of Family Affairs, Franziska Giffey wrote in the brochure's introduction.

The brochure suggests that the staff should be alerted of far-right views exhibited by the children and their parents. It offers advice on how to act in various scenarios. For example, what to do if a child draws swastikas in kindergarten and says it is "a good thing" at home.

Teachers are advised to be on the lookout for gender roles, too. It should be made clear "to what extent authoritarian and gender-stereotyped parenting styles limit the possibilities of children and complicate their development," the manual says.

The guide lays out 'clues' that can help to spot children who might belong to far-right families. One of such signs is described as: "The girl wears dresses and braids, she is directed to do house work at home, while the boy faces strong physical challenges and drills." Teachers are advised to hold face-to-face conversations with the parents in such cases.

The brochure's approach was blasted not only by the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD), but by the politicians from the ruling coalition as well. The lawmaker from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Christoph Bernstiel said that it is "unbelievable" that "a taxpayer-funded brochure identifies girls wearing braids and clothes as potentially 'nationalist'."

The critics argue that the well-meaning brochure encourages teachers to spy on children's parents, which would resemble the bitter atmosphere of the pre-reunification socialist East Germany.

Saxony's State Minister of Culture Christian Piwarz (CDU) warned against using the manuals. "It's unacceptable to tie the children's looks with the political views of their parents," the official said.

If they can put you in prison for murder only because of your political beliefs, you have no rights left, and you are simply waiting around for the government to start the mass round-ups.

Sat, 08 Dec 2018 04:38:29 GMTPsychology professor accuses GOD of being a sexual predator for impregnating the Virgin Mary 'without her consent'

A university professor has accused God of sexual misconduct for impregnating Mary, the mother of Jesus, without her 'consent'.

'The virgin birth story is about an all-knowing, all-powerful deity impregnating a human teen,' Sprankle wrote on Twitter. 'There is no definition of consent that would include that scenario. Happy Holidays.'

Responding to Sprankle, someone else pointed out that Mary discusses God's plans with the angel Gabriel in the story of the Annunciation and tells him: 'I am the Lord's servant, may your word to me be fulfilled.'

Sprankle, however, remained convinced that Mary could not have consented, given God's vast power over her.

More than one in four doctors in the United States were born in another country, and a new study suggests many nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and home health aides are also immigrants.

Researchers who analyzed US census data on 164,000 health care professionals found that overall, almost 17 percent weren't born in America and almost five percent were not US citizens.

Past studies have focused on doctors who trained abroad, 'but our research shows that skilled immigration from other countries is an important contributor to nearly every occupation within the broader health care industry,' Jena said by email.

Doctors were more likely to be foreign born than other health care professionals, researchers report in JAMA.

About 29 percent of physicians were born in other countries, and almost seven percent were not US citizens, the study found.

Roughly 24 percent of dentists were immigrants to the US, and four percent were not citizens.

Among pharmacists, 20 percent were born elsewhere and almost four percent were not citizens.

And 16 percent of registered nurses were immigrants; three percent were not citizens.

Slightly more than 23 percent of home health, psychiatric and nursing aides were born outside the US, and almost nine percent were not citizens, the study also found.

Asia sends the most health care professionals to the US, accounting for about six percent of the total workforce, followed by Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, accounting for about five percent of health workers.

It's possible that some health care professionals surveyed didn't disclose their immigration or citizenship status, so the study may have underestimated the proportion of workers in the industry who were born outside the U.S., the authors note.

'With the increasing diversity of the U.S. population, it's important our healthcare workforce reflect that diversity,' Arora, who wasn't involved in the study, said by email. 'Certain patients, such as immigrants or those who speak a different language, may prefer or do better with doctors born outside the U.S. due to cultural or language factors.'

Wed, 05 Dec 2018 02:11:13 GMT'Witch' goes on trial for boiling girl in a cauldron: Teenager suffered serious burns after she was dropped into hot water during German festival

A 33-year-old man has been charged with assault after allegedly dropping a teenager into a cauldron of boiling water during a 'witch carnival' in southwest Germany.

Reinhold K. had dressed up as a witch for the annual 'Witchcraft Eppingen' festival in Baden Württemberg in February, where he is then alleged to have taken part in a prank gone wrong.

The victim, 18-year-old Janine, suffered serious burns on her legs and has been left with life-long scars after spending two months in hospital.

Reinhold K. has been charged with 'negligent assault', but claims he was not the masked person involved and that he has been made a scapegoat, Bild reports.

The cauldron had been placed on a carnival cart which was being pulled along by a group of some 19 people dressed up in witch costumes, Reinhold K. among them.

Local media reports that the Janine's friends had 'handed her over' to two of them as a joke.

One of the 'witches' held her over the cauldron while another lifted the lid, after which she ended up in the water feet first.

This was reportedly done to mimic he scene told in fairy-tales and legends where witches would boil their victims alive.

Prosecutor Patricia Münch claims Reinhold K was the masked person holding the Janine over the cauldron, and that he lost his grip and her legs fell into the boiling water.

She also claims that Reinhold K. and the other 'witches' simply left the victim behind and carried on with the procession despite her screaming in pain.

The teenager required eight weeks of hospital care and will 'will suffer the consequences for a lifetime,' according to doctors.

A black college lacrosse player has been arrested in connection with two incidents of racist graffiti found in a dorm on the Goucher College campus in Maryland.

Fynn Ajani Arthur, a 21-year-old from Brunswick, Maine, was charged with two counts of malicious destruction of property on Thursday night in Baltimore County.

His arrest came after graffiti aimed at black and Latino students was found on the second floor of a campus dorm, one floor above where similar graffiti had been found on November 14, Goucher College administrators said in a statement.

Both incidents that shook the Towson campus involved backward swastikas and targeted specific individuals, according to the statement.

Thursday's graffiti depicted swastikas, the letters 'KKK' and appeared to include the last names of four black students, including Arthur. The previous graffiti reportedly said all 'n*****s' on campus would be killed.

Many of our nation’s churches can no longer afford to maintain their structures—6,000 to 10,000 churches die each year in America—and that number will likely grow. Though more than 70 percent of our citizens still claim to be Christian, congregational participation is less central to many Americans’ faith than it once was. Most denominations are declining as a share of the overall population, and donations to congregations have been falling for decades. Meanwhile, religiously unaffiliated Americans, nicknamed the “nones,” are growing as a share of the U.S. population.

In fact, the “nones” have risen from just 6 percent of the population in 1991 to 25 percent today. That makes them the single largest “religious group” in the United States.

“Between 6,000 and 10,000 churches in the U.S. are dying each year” – and that means that over 100 will die this week
America is littered with thousands upon thousands of church buildings that aren’t being used anymore.

As you will see below, between 6,000 and 10,000 churches are dying in the United States every single year, and that means that more than 100 will die this week alone. And of course thousands of others are on life support. All over the country this weekend, small handfuls of people will gather in huge buildings which once boasted very large congregations. At one time, America was widely considered to be “a Christian nation”, but that really isn’t true anymore. As an excellent article in The Atlantic has noted, even though most Americans still consider themselves to be “Christian”, the numbers are telling us a very different story…

Many of our nation’s churches can no longer afford to maintain their structures—6,000 to 10,000 churches die each year in America—and that number will likely grow. Though more than 70 percent of our citizens still claim to be Christian, congregational participation is less central to many Americans’ faith than it once was. Most denominations are declining as a share of the overall population, and donations to congregations have been falling for decades. Meanwhile, religiously unaffiliated Americans, nicknamed the “nones,” are growing as a share of the U.S. population.

In fact, the “nones” have risen from just 6 percent of the population in 1991 to 25 percent today. That makes them the single largest “religious group” in the United States.

Today, less than 20 percent of all Americans attend church on a regular basis. As a result, churches are dying in very large numbers, and this is a trend that appears to be accelerating.

Religious institutions are still the single biggest recipients of overall charity donations, according to the 2015 survey by the Giving USA Foundation. About 32 percent — $119.3 billion — of a total of $373.25 billion Americans gave to charities went to churches, synagogues, mosques and temples.

But that is down from about 50 percent since 1990, according to Rick Dunham, vice chairman of Giving USA, and the percentage has been “in steady decline for some time.”

A large number of abandoned churches have become wineries or breweries or bars. Others have been converted into hotels, bed-and-breakfasts, and Airbnbs. A few have been transformed into entertainment venues, such as an indoor playground for children, a laser-tag arena, or a skate park.

A similar thing is happening in Europe, only on a much greater scale. Over there, hundreds of churches have been transformed into Islamic mosques, and this has generated quite a bit of controversy.

Today, nearly four in ten (39%) young adults (ages 18-29) are religiously unaffiliated—three times the unaffiliated rate (13%) among seniors (ages 65 and older). While previous generations were also more likely to be religiously unaffiliated in their twenties, young adults today are nearly four times as likely as young adults a generation ago to identify as religiously unaffiliated. In 1986, for example, only 10% of young adults claimed no religious affiliation.

In 1776, every European American, with the exception of about 2,500 Jews, identified himself or herself as a Christian. Moreover, approximately 98 percent of the colonists were Protestants, with the remaining 1.9 percent being Roman Catholics.

Many links within the link given that have charts and stuff. I may go into them at a later point.

There's many reasons why the Church is dying, which of course we have different opinions on this than the judeos...

On a side note, I have never been to an actual Church service. Both my parents were nonpracticing so we never went.

Wed, 28 Nov 2018 00:09:54 GMTFeminist Christians draw up 'A Women's Bible' in a bid to stop the holy book being used to justify subjugating women

Tired of seeing their holy texts used to justify the subjugation of women, a group of feminist theologians from across the Protestant-Catholic divide have joined forces to draft 'A Women's Bible'.

As the #MeToo movement continues to expose sexual abuse across cultures and industries, some scholars of Christianity are clamouring for a reckoning with biblical interpretations they say have entrenched negative images of women.

The women we know from translations and interpretations of Bible texts are servants, prostitutes or saints, seen dancing for a king or kneeling to kiss Jesus' feet.

But while many feminists have called for The Bible, Christianity and religion altogether to be cast aside, an eclectic group of theologians instead insists that if interpreted properly, the Good Book can be a tool for promoting women's emancipation.

'Feminist values and reading the Bible are not incompatible,' insisted Lauriane Savoy, one of two Geneva theology professors behind the push to draft 'Une Bible des Femmes' ('A Women's Bible'), which was published in October.

The professor at the Theology Faculty in Geneva, which was established by the father of Calvinism himself in 1559, said the idea for the work came after she and her colleague Elisabeth Parmentier noticed how little most people knew or understood of the biblical texts.

'A lot of people thought they were completely outdated with no relevance to today's values of equality,' the 33-year-old told AFP, standing under the towering sculptures of Jean Calvin and other Protestant founders on the University of Geneva campus.

'We are fighting against a literal reading of the texts,' Parmentier said, pointing for instance to letters sent by Saint Paul to nascent Christian communities.

'While some say that you have to throw out the Bible to be a feminist, we believe the opposite.'

Btw, Man being over woman (which is biblical) doesn't mean you treat her like crap nor should the woman treat her man like crap.

I must say he has done a great job enforcing immigration laws. Trump and his people have worked very hard to secure the border and I respect that 100%. Thank god and by god may we continue to see leaders with good intentions. I pray in Jesus name those left wing creeps that want to see the USA and the civilised world burn in a hellish micegenated mess. May those who harm innocent children, be utterly devastated by Yahweh and his arch angels.

If you ask of god, he can move mountains and I have faith god will continue the secure the border and to help the poor and needy. Even those from minority backgrounds. That work hard and are not out to cause trouble in the streets. South Africa is a great example of how gated communities can work (in a general sense and not in the context of that nation's large black population). If that is what it takes to save our race, whilst working with minorities so they are perfectly happy as well then may it be so.

Let us not gloat or take any of these small victories as a sign. We must continue to spread the word of our christian god to all those patriots and well meaning folks all across the USA. We must ask for god's grace to bring a stop to the goals of the evil and green eyed denizens of NWO globalism. We don't want it, we never did want it and throwing mud hoping it will stick will not work. We patriots would rather die than obey this disgusting tyranny from these sorry excuses for men.

We must fight tooth and nail for our people and our land. Our enemies are heathen and cowards, they are godless and without faith. Don't forget that.

Here are some ideas I want to put out as the situation is in the world at this moment.

- Consider using planes and ships for trade whilst the border must remain closed. Of course keep the same high standards of security on trading ships and trading planes.

- Continue to plug holes in the border.

- Do not gloat. Strive for our own best interests, do not mock more than is necessary, our enemies enjoy mocking us because they are twisted. Our wishes are straightforward and noble (if we are given a chance to explain ourselves), therefore there should be a basic standard.

- Look at the many documented cases of illegals killing, mugging, raping, robbing and hurting innocent Americans. There are many who did not have a green card. Did not have official ID who have committed all of these crimes. In fact they have pillaged on a level to rival the viking heathen of the 9th century.

- A lot of non-whites are on our side. We are losing, I do not encourage race mixing and I support being wary of non-whites. However those non-whites that wish to help us should be respected and not run out of our lands. We need to work out a deal where these people can feel safe and a part of our nation without our own race being wiped out. The cards are down and we have been losing for a long time. Any grandious fantasies of hardline racial purity cannot be a part of our agenda under the current climate. God first and the rest will follow my friends. Anyway my heavenly father puts things on my heart and this is a better place than any to express myself! So I hope people understands my thinking! thanks guys and thanks lurkers.

Tue, 27 Nov 2018 04:36:53 GMTAn aging America: Old people will outnumber children for the first time in the country's HISTORY

By 2030 all baby boomers will be older than age 65 and one in every five Americans will be retirement age.

The Census Bureau said that deaths will 'rise substantially' between 2020 and 2050, meaning the country's population will naturally grow very slowly.

Projections also revealed that America will become more racially and ethnically diverse, with the country's share of mixed-race children set to double.

The non-Hispanic White-alone population is projected to shrink from 199 million in 2020 to 179 million in 2060.

Meanwhile, the 'Two or More Races' population will be the fastest growing over the next several decades.

While the projections did touch on race, this time the Census Bureau did not mention when white Americans will fall below half the population.

'It was just us getting back to sticking to data,' a Bureau spokesman told the New York Times.

The Census Bureau made headlines in 2008 when it projected that non-Hispanic whites would drop below half the population by 2042.

And three years ago the Bureau released a new graphic that showed white Americans would lost their majority status by 2044.

Many academics criticized how the Bureau was presenting its data, fearing it could stoke white nationalism.

A 2014 study also found that white Americans who were assigned to read about the changing demographic were more likely to report negative feelings toward racial minorities.

They were also more likely support restrictive immigration policies and more likely to believe that white people would lose status and face discrimination in the racial shift.

Tue, 27 Nov 2018 00:03:46 GMTScience Fiction writer claims the Lord Of The Rings series is 'racist' because it discriminates against orcs

The Lord of the Rings series has been branded 'racist' by a science fiction writer who claims orcs are discriminated against and written as inferior.

American author Andy Duncan said British author JRR Tolkien depicted evil creatures such as orcs as 'worse than others' and said this had 'dire consequences for society'.

The criticism comes despite Tolkien being known as a fierce critic of racism, particularly the Nazi Germany regime in the 1930s and 40s.

'It's hard to miss the repeated notion in Tolkien that some races are just worse than others, or that some peoples are just worse than others.

'And this seems to me - in the long term, if you embrace this too much - it has dire consequences for yourself and for society.'

Duncan has previously written a parody set in Tolkien's Middle-earth universe called Senator Bilbo about a right-wing Hobbit politician opposing the immigration of orcs into The Shire.

'I can easily imagine that a lot of these people that were doing the dark lord's bidding were doing so out of simple self preservation and so forth.

'A lot of these creatures that were raised out of the earth had not a great deal of choice in the matter of what to do. I have this very complicated sense of the politics of all that.'

Duncan also compared the depiction of the orcs to modern day refugees and appeared to criticise President Donald Trump over the situation at the Mexican border.

Tolkien has previously been criticised for racism by academics, including Dr Stephen Shapiro, a then cultural studies academic at the University of Warwick, in 2003.

He wrote: 'Put simply, Tolkien's good guys are white and the bad guys are black, slant-eyed, unattractive, inarticulate and a psychologically undeveloped horde.'

Tolkien wrote two letters in response, one ignoring the question, and the other confronting the issue head on.

In the second, he wrote: 'If I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people.

"Ukraine [is] calling now for [an] emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council."

". . . The incident allegedly took place as three Ukrainian navy boats - including two small warships - headed for the port of Mariupol in the Sea of Azov, an area of heightened tensions between the countries.

Russia - which claims the waters off Crimea after annexing the peninsula in 2014 - accused Ukraine of illegally entering the area and deliberately provoking a conflict."

"Facebook images of bell ringers with controversial patches outside a Valparaiso Walmart have been shared almost 10,000 times.

The photos posted Friday appear to show several men wearing leather jackets, one with a Confederate flag patch and another with a patch that reads “Aryan”, while bell ringing for the Salvation Army."

". . . The Times of Northwest Indiana reported the bell ringers in question were confirmed to be members of the Hells Angels Northwest Indiana Region Motorcycle Club.

A representative for the motorcycle club said some members may wear “heritage-based” patches but that most members do not sport them.

The representative said:

“That’s not what our clubs is about. However like all Americans, we love exercising our freedom. Sometimes freedom means you see and hear things you may not like. We accept that. The focus of today has nothing to do with freedom though. It has to do with charity and sacrificing for you community. I’d suggest to those making negative comments that maybe a little less time should be spent exercising your freedom of speech and a little more be spent to making a positive difference in our society.”"

". . . However, the Valparaiso Walmart staid it asked the bell ringers to leave when they learned about the volunteers’ attire.

In a statement, a Walmart spokesperson said:

“As soon as this was brought to our attention we asked the Salvation Army Bell Ringers to leave. We made the Salvation Army aware and they apologized. The Salvation Army is responsible for screening its volunteers stationed outside our stores. We’ve had a long history of supporting the Salvation Army and regret this isolated incident. We will direct further questions to the Salvation Army.”"
